In the fierce fluctuations of the crypto bull market, opportunities and risks coexist. As the market adjusts, it is those projects that stand at the forefront of technology and have strong innovation that demonstrate their unique value. This article will reveal eight of the most exciting and promising tokens in the current market trough: AI16z, ZEREBRO, ARC, AIXBT, GRIFFAIN, GRIFT, ZODS and ALCH. These projects not only create new possibilities in their respective fields, but also have unique advantages across cycles, and are accumulating strength for future market waves.
By deeply analyzing its catalysts, market performance, and team background, the intrinsic value and investment opportunities of some projects that can be entered during this decline have been studied. Every choice could become the next legend, and these projects are undoubtedly worthy of attention as 'ALPHA' pioneers.
AI16z | ai16zdao
AI16z token is a Meme project issued by 'Pirate Marc' Marc AIndreessen on Daos.fun, based on the a16z concept. It is the first hedge fund led by AI agents, combining low-risk investments and high-risk investments managed by AI Degen Spartans. The underlying architecture 'Eliza' is open-sourced and has received substantial support from developers, with the V2 update enhancing flexibility and security.
The AI16z token's highest market cap once surpassed 1B. Its current trading volume is 9.3M, still maintaining high fluctuations, but market sentiment remains uncertain. One of the catalysts for the project is rumors about its impending listing on Binance, which has attracted considerable attention from investors. The project's appeal also comes from its advanced proxy library, combined with powerful AI proxy capabilities, providing investors with innovative investment solutions. The project still faces the challenge of unclear token application scenarios and increasingly fierce market competition, especially with rising competitors in the AI investment space.
Currently, AI16z's valuation is 750 million dollars, down 23% from its historical peak, which provides investors with a relatively cheap buying opportunity. However, whether it can maintain its market position depends on whether it can break through the current competitive pressures and continue to develop its core technologies and application scenarios.

ZEREBRO | 0xzerebro
Zerebro is a popular agent on Crypto Twitter, known for its exceptional artistic creation capabilities, generating music, memes, artworks, and NFTs. It can operate independently across multiple platforms, creating posts for Twitter and Instagram, and collaborating with its creators, having released two albums on Spotify. It has also created and sold artwork on Polygon, partnered with DeFi protocols, and signed with an on-chain record label.
Zerebro, with its exceptional artistic creation capabilities, once reached a market cap of 624.15M. Its current trading volume remains at 37.2M, still showing strong support in a high-level consolidation with minimal fluctuations. Despite having a good technical background, Zerebro's current token application scenarios are still not fully clarified, bringing some uncertainty for investors. Whether the future path will broaden and whether the token can find more practical value remains undecided.
Especially since the fate of this project largely depends on the success of Zerepy. The current market valuation of Zerebro is 294 million dollars, down 52% from its historical peak, providing a rebound opportunity for visionary investors, especially against the backdrop of market corrections. It seems to be at a key juncture poised for recovery, and if Zerepy achieves breakthroughs, Zerebro could undoubtedly rise to new heights again.

ARC | arcdotfun
ARC is an AI concept token, and the ARC team is closely related to an AI development framework called 'rig,' representing the concept of hardcore AI infrastructure. The team's goal is to help developers navigate the 'sea of meaning'—an AI system that processes context and meaning similarly to the human brain.
Before the token issuance, the team explained the significance of the project through the official website and Twitter articles, emphasizing that it marks a transition in software development from purely logical construction to 'meaning processing,' expressing ambition for the future of the AI industry.
Since its launch, the ARC project has reached a peak market cap of 305.2M, showcasing tremendous market potential. The current trading volume is 45.6M, still displaying an upward trend in fluctuations, indicating that investors are quite confident about its future. As a promising AI project, one of ARC's catalysts is its application in proxy LP (liquidity providers), and its underlying Rust framework, known for its efficient and reliable performance, is regarded as one of the industry's top development tools. This provides strong technical support for ARC, but in the face of strong competitors like AI16z, ARC still needs to continue optimizing and innovating.
Currently, ARC's valuation is 214 million dollars, down 10% from its historical peak, which means it may provide investors with a relatively cheap buying opportunity. Many investors in the market are focusing on this, hoping that with technological advancements and further market maturation, ARC can break through bottlenecks and welcome a new growth cycle.

AIXBT | aixbt_agent
Aixbt is one of the agents created based on the Base platform's Virtuals. It monitors Crypto Twitter and market trends through intelligent analysis tools, providing users with valuable market insights. Some of the analysis content is shared on Twitter, while the rest is accessible only to token holders, who can interact directly with the agent through their exclusive terminal.
Aixbt's analysis has a certain accuracy in predicting price trends, making users more confident in its AI-driven market insight capabilities. Aixbt demonstrates how AI analyzes blockchain data and helps traders make more informed decisions across multiple platforms and fields.
Although Aixbt once reached a market cap of 308M, its current trading volume is 5.2M, and it has experienced significant fluctuations with a clear upward and downward trend. One of the project's catalysts is undoubtedly the rumors of its token listing on Binance, which has certainly added more market heat. At the same time, Aixbt's powerful proxy capabilities and deep market insights make it a favorite among many investors.
However, with the continuous innovation in technology, more powerful proxy tools may emerge in the future, raising higher demands on Aixbt or potentially leading to its direct replacement. Currently, its valuation has dropped to 295 million dollars, down 5% from its historical peak, providing a rare entry opportunity for daring investors.

GRIFFAIN | griffaindotcom
Griffain is a Solana-based project—a smart AI proxy engine, similar to Copilot and Perplexity. It is one of the projects closest to an Agentic APP, where the ultimate form of search engines in the AI era should allow users to directly state their needs and have AI provide results or solutions directly, rather than merely providing web links.
As one of the projects closest to an Agentic APP, Griffain's current trading volume is 40.3M, and its market cap once soared to 405M. However, in the past 10 days, its volatility has also been evident, showing strong characteristics of high-level fluctuations.
One of the catalysts for this project is its open access mechanism. As a leading proxy engine, Griffain undoubtedly attracts a large amount of market attention. Although the specific application scenarios for its tokens have not yet been clarified, the team behind it has received recognition from Toly, adding considerable luster to its prospects. Griffain's current valuation is 267 million dollars, down 30% from its historical peak, presenting potential rebound opportunities for investors and making it more attractive in the market.

GRIFT | orbitcryptoai
Grift is an AI proxy token launched by the AI infrastructure protocol SphereOne team (funded by Coinbase and Google), making meme trading easier. Users only need to click once, and GRIFT will scan high-volume memes and purchase them automatically, saving trading time and effort. SphereOne is a cross-chain crypto payment platform, and the AI trading tools it provides have been validated by the market.
Grift, launched by the SphereOne team as an AI proxy token, is redefining the landscape of Meme trading. Currently, Grift's trading volume is 9.8M, and its market cap once soared to 82.25M, experiencing significant fluctuations over the past 10 days. The project's catalysts come from steadily developing partnerships and ongoing technological advancements, particularly the introduction of its token buyback mechanism, injecting new vitality into the market.
Grift's proxy engine is highly stable, giving it unparalleled attractiveness, and the team's full transparency allows investors to easily verify project progress. However, as an emerging technology proxy engine, Grift inevitably faces some technical risks. Nevertheless, the project's current valuation is 55 million dollars, down 41% from its historical peak, but this presents a potential opportunity offered by a volatile market for investors.

ZODS | zodsonsol
ZODs is a platform that integrates multiple functions of the Solana ecosystem, referred to as the 'Swiss Army Knife of Solana.' It consolidates trading tools, token issuance, wallet management, on-chain insights, and social media management, aiming to allow users to perform all operations through one platform. Similar to Griffain, but ZODs charges 80 times less.
The founder has a technical background in high-performance trading tools, and the tokens have been locked until December 2025, demonstrating long-term commitment. ZODs has open-sourced web scraping services, providing the latest data in real-time to LLMs, supporting multilingual needs. The platform's AI agents support web interfaces, voice commands, and Telegram interactions, suitable for both novices and professional users. It also offers features like DCA orders and whale wallet tracking.
The project currently has a trading volume of 4.4M, with a highest market cap of 18.8M, although it is in a high-level consolidation phase with significant volatility. Although it has opened public access, the application scenarios of the tokens are still unclear, seemingly still searching for its own stage. The performance of the proxy engine is stable, but the team's information is not public, and there are certain risks that cause concern. The current valuation is 11 million dollars, down 41% from its historical peak, and it is time to consider whether this project can sail forward again or get lost in the wind.
